Pros:
improves skin texture, easy to use
Cons:
dries out skin, odd consistency
i am 13 and have been using this system for about 3 months. The box says that acne is reduced in just 2 days. Thats true, but after a couple weeks it stops working. For the first couple weeks, my skin seemed to be improving but then it just went back to how it was before. However it does improve overall skin texture and softness. It dried my skin a lot though so make sure you ALWAYS use the moisturizer.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
I have moderate acne and this product worked wonders for me. You have to use it at least twice a day at first to knock out the acne, but, after that I only use it once a day now. It never dried out my skin like other people have said it did.
Cons:
It doesn't knock out ALL of my pimples. Like another person said, I always have one or two pimples at all times. But, I'm satisfied and this is as good as it gets for me!
I was skeptical, but, this stuff really works! Ever since I've used Proactiv, I get a lot of comments about how "beautiful" I am now! I NEVER had that before. I personally think that a huge part of looking "beautiful" is having good skin, and this stuff does just that. It will make your skin look so much better. It will feel softer and smoother and the refining mask really does work overnight. You won't wake up pimple free the next day. But, it will definitely reduce inflammation and the pimple will be less noticable. I'm just so happy that I tried this product because it's done wonders for me. And, I definitely hope that the next person who reads this will give Proactiv a real try, because most likely you will be happy with the results. I consider myself a normal looking person, and my skin was not so great and Proactiv has changed all of that! So, the bottom line is that I love this stuff and it really works! If you do it consistently, you won't be disappointed!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Acne Treatment System)
Pros:
It makes your skin smooth and you feel refreshed. Also, my skin didn't feel dry at all.
Cons:
It made me have more pimples on my face and I woke up many mornings with huge red bumps on my forehead.
It doesn't work, I still have so many pimples on my face, if anything...Proactiv made my face worse. Don't use it!!

Product used: Acne.org (Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%))
Pros:
Large size is convenient and cost effective, gel goes on easily and dries quickly with no fragrance.
Cons:
Slight irritation like all BP products.
I think Dan has the best deal on the market for BP products, though I'd be interested in a 1.5% option for adults with less acne. I really like the very open and honest way he does business with full disclosures about everything.

Cleared my skin after 2 weeks! I also use the refining mask 3 times a week and the green tea moisturizer everyday. It really worked for me and iI was skeptical at first
Cons:
None
Works great, best product I have ever used! The green tea moisturizer works really well and helps to rehydrate your face. I recommend to everyone to atleast try it once.

It broke my out worse than I have ever been in my life!
Didn't work at all! I used it for over a month and all it did was make my skin look awful and made me break out worse than ever.
Pros:
It has a good scent but thats it..ive been using the one with benzoyl peroxide,,and it works much better,the only issue was intense sun exposure..but better than this...
